Review: 30406 Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon Polybag

This is one of two polybags available at Target in the Christmas aisle.  I've already reviewed the other one.

Bag.  I paid $3.99, for a $0.09 Price per Piece.


Instructions.










"Minifig".  There's that 1x3 Inverted Tile again.


Parts.  Plates, Wedge Plates, Axle Plates,
Jumpers, Tiles, Round Tiles, Slopes, Mod. Bricks,
Star Tiles, Wheel & Axles, Truncated Cone, Apollo
Stud, Technic Axle, Nipple, and Unicorn Horn.
  





Build.  Yeeaah, it's a crappy Ram Cart.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No.  (-5)
Score: +10 (A-).  That score sounds about right.

Review: 41451 Unikitty Cloud Car

I did some looking around this weekend and after the recent Clearance wave, there are some new sets on the shelf.  I hope this one is to your liking.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99 at Target for a $0.08 Price per Piece


Instructions.









Parts 1.  Bar Studs!  Some Aqua.  Clip Plates, Apollo Studs, Round Large Jumper, Bar Holder Claw.

Parts 2.  Another one of those Inverted Tiles, Unicorn Horns in Dark Azure, more Corner Bricks, Aqua, Purple, Dark Pink, Medium Azure.






Parts 3.  There's that Technic piece again.  Dark Lilac Technic Ball.  Stud Shooters assembled once more.

Build.  2Rd+d8/2Y.  I like the hip
joint connection I made for
this.  I'll have to use it again.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Good price point and good colors but, not enough parts in useful quantities.  Despite the A+ rating.

Review: 41452 Unikitty Prince Poppycorn Trike

Box.  MSRP is $9.97 at Walmart for a $0.10 Price per Piece

Parts 1.  That Tile w/Bar Hole in the upper right of the picture?  It's actually an Inverted Tile w/Bar Hole.  Those "Flap Ear Tiles" in Blue are neat.  Apollo Studs in Red, Unicorn Horns in Yellow.  A Technic Ball in Blue!  And a Bionicle ball without a launcher.



Parts 2.  Medium Azure!  Dark Azure.  Printed 4x4 Radar Dishes, Printed 2x2 Radar Dishes, Orange Clip Bricks, and for once those Stud Shooters come pre-assembled.


Build.  IO frigate (2Ra+d8/1Y)

Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  At.  (0)
